HDR of a Table Lamp
Made with Photomatix out of 6 pictures. Three images were taken with the camera's AEB function (0,-2,+2 EV) for each of the two areas marked in the picture on this site to get a series for the darker areas and one series that does justice to the glowing bulb.
These were saved in the RAW format and imported into Photomatix Pro 4 where the HDR was created and tone mapped with the Details Enhancer method. I selected the default preset and modified it as follows:
- Strength: 100
- Color Saturation: 33
- Microcontrast: 7
- Smoothing: -2
I played a little with the White Point setting but realized that the default value (0.250) is appropriate here.
After the image was processed, the result was tone mapped again with the same settings. And this result again, was tone mapped another time.
The result of the third tone mapping was then post-processed a little in GIMP.
I copied the image to another layer and blurred it with the gaussian algorithm with x/y values of about 60 (for an image of 5184x3456 pixels) in order to lose all the crisp in this layer and get a smooth version of the image. Then I added a black layer mask (full transparency) to the blurred layer and put it on top of the unmodified layer. I selected a smooth brush and white as front color and set set opacity to 60-80%.
Then I painted the layer mask with this brush in the areas that appeared too rough in the original version, thus merging to some extent the original with the smoothed version of the picture in the selected areas.
I'm very happy with the result, but I'd be happy about some comments, nonetheless. :)
If you know what I can do to get even better results, let me know.
If you like the picture, don't hesitate to tell me so.
This is a benefit of not cleaning your kitchen table. Magical messy art. All-bran + coffee stain + bread-clip = I love you

Said to be the elephant's closest living relative (the elephant must not have any close relatives), these cat-sized things are found in Africa and the Middle East, and, according to the net: "early Phoenician navigators mistook the rabbits of the Iberian Peninsula for hyraxes (Hebrew Shaphan); hence they named it I-Shapan-im, meaning "Land of the Hyraxes", which became the Latin word "Hispania", the root of Spain's modern Spanish name España and the English name Spain. ..."
- For your inner zoologist: "The order first appears in the fossil record > 40 million yr.s ago, and for millions of years they were the primary terrestrial herbivore in Africa. There were many species, the largest @ the weight of a small horse, the smallest the size of a hummingbird. In the Miocene, however, competition from the newly-developed bovids - very efficient grazers and browsers - pushed hyraxes out of the prime territory and into marginal niches. ... Some of the descendants of the giant hyracoids evolved to become smaller, and gave rise to the modern hyrax family. Others appear to have taken to the water, and ultimately gave rise to the elephant family, and perhaps also the Sirenians (dugongs and manatees). DNA evidence supports this theory, and modern hyraxes share features with elephants such as toenails, excellent hearing, sensitive pads on their feet, small tusks, good memory, high brain functions compared to other similar mammals, and the shape of some of their bones. ... They retain a number of early mammal characteristics; e.g. they have poorly developed internal temperature regulation (which they deal with by huddling together for warmth, and by basking in the sun like reptiles)."

We just got one of these table soccer (fusball for you educated folk) thingamabobs for the office. It's been getting quite a bit of use of late.
I was taking staff photos today for our new photoboard at work. Somehow, someone from work got onto my flickr page and nominated me. Whilst waiting for various people to arrive into the tea room, I fired off some bokehlicious snaps with the fiddy mill.
Of course I had to focus on the red guy, I mean, he does represent Liverpool. Here we go, here we go, here we go!!!!!
A table with inlay
95.2 x 119.3 x 57.7 cm (37 1/2 x 47 x 22 3/4 in)
By the turn of the 20th century, Baliuag workshops ceased producing big altar tables. This table was made before that time, thus the sizable proportions.
This altar table is inlaid with carabao bone shaped like lozenges or diamonds in varying arrangements to create different patterns: lozenges that outline the one-piece top edges, main frame and drawer faces; the 4-leaf flower at the corners of the drawers; stellar flowers at the center of the large drawer, knees and in the middle of the scalloped apron. The result is an elegant, uncomplicated embellishments that further enhance the beauty of the table. Except for a few pieces that have been restored, the inlays are all original. The original skeleton keyholes of the top drawers have been replaced with later round bolt-type keyholes, though that on the right drawer has come off. Keyholes can be easily restored by patching the holes and installing period-appropriate keyholes with escutcheons. Turned drawer knobs maybe old replacements. The metal drawer guides are a later addition for smoother sliding operation. Finely turned legs raise up the table.
Estimate: PHP 350,000 - 380,000

Made in the Bilibid Prison which, from the early American colonial period until the end of the first half of the 20th century, manufactured high quality household and office furniture as part of its program to rehabilitate prisoners in preparation for their reintegration into mainstream society. Their outputs were arguably unrivaled in terms of craftsmanship, design and prolificity.
A rare 12-sided top, made of solid one-piece narra wood, framed by precious kamagong wood carved around the edges with acanthus gadrooning. To harvest wood with a girth this size - over 7 feet across when finished - the felled giant tree must be well over a hundred years old. Each conforming side of the frieze is carved with foliated scrolls centering an anthemion flower inscribed with C-volute. The heavy base is made of two crossed curule seat-shaped legs carved with foliated scrolls bordered by broad kamagong inlays, and undulate with winged rosettes, connected to a huge, turned central cylinder with flutings surmounted by scrolled arches and a finial. The lion’s paws with winged extensions embody immense strength and power.
Overall, the workmanship is quite remarkable, displaying great detailed carvings and decorations alluding to the Italian Neoclassical style that was popular in the early 19th century. A classic, timeless statement piece that will surely draw exclamations of surprise and admiration. Found in Santa Rosa, Laguna.
